First arena show I went to was Rush, at the LA Forum, in October of 1987.
I knew Moe Bandy back when he was in high school. Funny, I grew up on country music and can't stand it now.
The first concert was Foghat, Emerson, lake, & Palmer, and Head East (?) 1972-73 one of the loudest I ever recall.
OP - I saw VH 1984 in Vegas was like the next to last concert before the break-up, someone threw a silky handkerchief with a heavy object in it and hit him right in the eye as he slid up to the edge of the stage on his knees and the whole band came to a screeching halt. He was pissed and screaming and cussing and threatened to turn the whole auditorium into a riot to punish who ever threw it. The bassist put on a solo show that was beyond description, like tossing the guitar from 15 feet up right in the middle of the stage the noise... it made... and the show stopped short.
